No one is responsible for your life. No one is responsible for your thoughts. No one is responsible for your dreams. No one is responsible for your future. Why is that? Because your future belongs to you. Your life is yours. Your dreams are yours. You are responsible for making your life happen. If you are waiting for other people to come and help you, to lift you up, to make you bigger than you are, you are going to wait forever.

Don’t wait. Start living your life. Because you have waited long enough. Instead of waiting for other people, why not take your own personal responsibility? Why not take charge of your own life? Why not? What are you still waiting for?

If you are still waiting for the right time to start living your life, know this: ‘Whether you are living your life or not, life is not waiting for you. Life is always moving forward.’ So if you want to improve yourself, you must take responsibility for your life. When you take responsibility for your life, you stop blaming other people. You stop blaming your government. You stop blaming your parents. You stop blaming your teachers. You stop blaming yourself. When you take responsibility for your life, that is where you start to live your life. You stop waiting for other people to rescue you. You start living your life. You start doing things that are meaningful, things that make you happy. You start facing your fears. You start attracting positive things into your life.

Because you attract who you are, not who you are not. If you don’t want to be controlled by others, you must take responsibility for your life. If you do not have the courage to control your thoughts, your thoughts will take charge of your life. If you do not control your feelings, your feelings will control you. If you don’t take responsibility for your actions, your actions will control you. Your actions will take charge of your life.

When that happens, you are no longer living your life; you are living by default. You are not living your own life; you are living the life designed by other people. Please don’t let that happen to you. Because you are bigger than your circumstances. If you don’t want to be controlled by other people, you must take responsibility for your life.

When you take responsibility for your life, things change. You change. Your life changes. It is through taking responsibility for your life that you make yourself stronger, better. Because taking personal responsibility frees you to take care of what is important to you, to face your fears, to do the hard things that you have been avoiding.

Taking personal responsibility for your life gives you the freedom to choose your future, to do what you love. When you take your own personal responsibility, you can create a solution to the problem you are trying to solve. When you take personal responsibility for your life, you stop blaming other people for your failures. When you take personal responsibility for your life, you create more opportunities for yourself.

Remember, your life doesn’t change when you think about changing your life. Your life changes when you take responsibility for your life.

Whatever it is that is holding you back from taking reponsibility for your life, let it go.

This Is What Is Holding You Back

If you are not where you are supposed to be, something is holding you back. If you are not getting the right results, something is holding you back. If you are not meeting the right people, something is responsible for not making it happen. If you are still stuck in your past, something is standing in your way. If you are not happy, something is stealing your happiness away from you.

The question is, ‘What is holding you back?’ Why are you not moving forward in your life? Why are you not where you want to be? Why are you not making progress in your career?

The truth is: You are the one holding yourself back. Stop blaming other people for your life. You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your dreams.

No one on this planet can hold you back, but you. No one can stop you from running your race, but you.

You are not getting the right results because you are not doing the right things. You are not running your own race. You are not doing what you love to do. You are not being true to yourself. You are hiding behind perfection. You are telling yourself false stories about your life, about your situation. You are not hanging out with the right people.

You are holding yourself back because you are still living in the past. Even when life has moved on. Even when change is running faster than the fastest person in the world. You are still attached to your past failures.

You are holding yourself back because your mind is flooded with negative thoughts. You are holding yourself back because you don’t believe in what you can do. You don’t believe in yourself.

But you can change everything. You can change your life by doing the right things, by thinking the right thoughts, by hanging out with the right people. You can change your life by changing how you treat yourself.

You can move your life forward when you move forward. You can. Because nothing is holding you back. You are the one holding yourself back. If you want to change your life, you have got to change your thoughts. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’
